National Tie One On Day is a day for celebrating baked love every year on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, on November 24 this year. On Thanksgiving Eve, apron-wearers all over America share some love with someone around them with a loaf of bread and an apron. Here’s how it works — On National Tie One On Day, apron-clad people in their homes put a sweet little note in an apron, wrap a loaf of bread in it, and deliver it to anyone who they’d like to show a little holiday love. From neighbors to gardeners, friends, and work colleagues, National Tie One On Day is a day to put the “give” back in Thanksgiving. Tie One On Day (or TOODay as it is often called) isn’t about the apron or the apron-wearer — it’s about the love. Even though National Tie One On Day is traditionally celebrated by women who cook, it can extend to anyone who is looking to spread some TLC to someone near them. If you can’t bake a loaf of bread, you can buy one from the grocery store.
National Jukebox Day
National Jukebox Day is the day before every Thanksgiving — on November 26 this year. Music is the soundtrack of our lives, and this day celebrates the jukebox, shining some light on the device that brought and still brings music into our lives in a special way. The jukebox has a rich history; the nostalgia it carries is unparalleled. It has been around for era after era of modern music — from jazz to country and blues to rock. Celebrate this historic machine today as you visit your hometown restaurants and bars in preparation for Thanksgiving with family and old friends.
D.B. Cooper Day
B. Cooper Day is annually observed on November 24 and is dedicated to what remains one of the most famous mysteries of all time. In 1971, a suited man named Dan Cooper hijacked a plane going from Portland to Seattle and parachuted off it. The catch? He seems to have disappeared into thin air and was never found again, dead or alive. On D. B. Cooper Day, Ariel, Washington, the little town Cooper is thought to have landed in, hosts a festival celebrating the events surrounding the skyjacking, the investigation, and the ensuing mystery. 2021 marks the 50th anniversary, and the fierce debate continues.
